Gray has been considered for a senior England call-up and more performances like his display against Burnley could see him in with an outside chance of making the squad for next summer’s World Cup, but Puel said he should not be looking too far ahead.

“I don’t know, it is far away,” added Puel. “For the moment he needs to keep the good concentration on his game.

“It is just the start of his career and it is important he doesn’t look too far ahead.

“The most important thing is to play football with good quality and a positive attitude.”
